MeanRingo: This, by your own logic, is also unprovable and rank with supposition.

On the surface, you are correct. But obviously, I meant the odds are extremely unlikely that they would have died at or near that time had the accident not occurred. Its a shortcut in speech we humans…

USNinJapan2: but they made it clear that they were upset and appalled by his lack of remorse

RichardtheFirst: Would you be happy with 7 years or whatever it was?

Justice is not about making people happy. Its not even about making the victims satisfied. Its about applying enough punishment that people amend their ways and admit their wrongs. Punish too much and you make them bitter, while…

Okay. So do you honestly think you can cane him into not thinking of little girls anymore? And I mean exactly that. I am not talking about caning him into not touching them, which he did not do, or not taking pictures of them…

thundercat: Arguing that the children died from drowning and not the accident is like arguing that someone died from lose of blood and not the bullet.

tjfrancis: it is mind-boggling someone as educated as yourself can't see it. had the driver not rammed into the SUV and off the bridge the kids would be alive today, case closed.
